Popis: Cytologic analysis of lochia in 118 puerperae helped distinguish 5 types of cytograms. A normal postpartum period is characterized by a gradual transition from an inflammatory to regenerative type. Subinvolution of the uterus is associated with a prolonged persistence of the inflammatory regenerative type, this pointing to deceleration of endometrium purification processes. The inflammatory, degenerative-inflammatory, and necrotic cytogram types were characteristic of endometritis of varying severity. The necrotic cytogram type was found the most prognostically unfavorable.
